Steffy: You just said the minute Wyatt left town, Ivy made out with you.

Thomas: Well, not the minute.

Steffy: You're not cute, no matter what she tells you.

Thomas: I'm just trying to lighten you up, Steff. It wasn't a big deal.

Steffy: Bet Wyatt would think so. Ivy's committed to Wyatt, or at least
that's what he believes. If that's not true, then Wyatt needs to know.

Wyatt: Oh, God. I wish I could've seen Thomas' face when you shot him down. I
mean, that dude needs a dose of humble.

Ivy: Well, right now, he is very aware that you are the only man in my life.

Wyatt: Yeah?

Ivy: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: How'd he take that?

Ivy: Oh, he was devastated, of course.

Wyatt: Well, I would be, if you told me to go away.

Ivy: That's never gonna happen.

Wyatt: Yeah?

Ivy: Mnh-mnh, 'cause I want you right here.

Wyatt: Mm.

Katie: [Laughs]

Bill: You look hot.

Katie: Is this because I'm barefoot in the kitchen, getting ready to serve
you?

Bill: I think so, yeah.

Katie: [Laughs] You're such a throwback.

Bill: And you are the embodiment of a thoroughly modern woman.

Katie: Mm. Yin and yang. Is that why we work so well?

Bill: Don't analyze it. Just kiss me like you mean it.

Katie: [Giggles] Do you want your pasta or not?

Bill: I want my wife.

Katie: Well...the two are not mutually exclusive.

Bill: I can have both?

Katie: Mm-hmm.

Bill: Nice.

Katie: See, that's what kind of devoted wife I am.

Bill: [Chuckles]

Katie: But you should eat. You'll need your strength.

Bill: Sounds promising.

Katie: [Laughs] This is what it's all about. My gorgeous, sexy, intelligent
wife keeping me grounded. A child we're raising. I come home at the end of the
day and...here I am... with the people I belong to. It's the greatest feeling in
the world. And I want my grown sons to experience that exact same thing.

Steffy: Oh, I don't know. Maybe you have the slightest bit of remorse for
duping Ivy into making out with you?

Thomas: Trust me. She wasn't duped.

Steffy: You don't like Wyatt because he's a Spencer, so you go after his
girlfriend to hurt him.

Thomas: This isn't about Wyatt. I told you that. It's about Ivy. I like her.
All right? Uh, she's -- she's gorgeous. She's stunning. I-I find her different,
okay? But you heard her, all right? I-it's over. Nothing is happening anymore.

Steffy: But the point is, Thomas, it did happen. Ivy was fooling around with
you when she's supposed to be exclusive with Wyatt. That's cheating.

Thomas: It's a moment that got away from us.

Steffy: If Ivy's feelings for Wyatt are real, this wouldn't have happened.

Thomas: We kissed. We made out, okay? But we didn't cross any major lines.

Steffy: Don't you get it, Thomas? Both of you crossed a line, and it is a
major line. She is supposed to be loyal to Wyatt. Wyatt deserves to know.

Liam: Everything okay in here?

Wyatt: Yeah, Ivy was just about to tell me s--

Ivy: Oh, no. We're fine. Um, d-do you need the office?

Liam: I do, but, uh, I don't need you to rush off or anything. I think
working with other people in the room seems to be a Forrester skill.

Wyatt: Yeah, ain't that the truth.

Liam: [Chuckles]

Wyatt: Hey, uh, you and Steffy -- you guys make any wedding plans yet, or
what?

Liam: [Scoffs] I'm still getting used to the engagement part.

Wyatt: It must be great, though, just knowing you're getting married to your
woman of choice after all this time.

Liam: Yeah. You know, it is. It's kind of hard to believe.

Ivy: Well, I guess it's a good thing, you know? If someone keeps coming back
to you, you know that they're yours.

Liam: Well, yeah. Well, you know, at this point, I can say Steffy and I are
definitely meant to be together. I'm just, uh, not gonna tempt fate again, you
know?

Wyatt: That's a good policy. You know why? 'Cause you have what we're all
looking for.

Ivy: Mm?

Wyatt: You know, a solid, trusting relationship, just safe harbor with
someone you just -- you trust. You know?

Thomas: You can't take this to Wyatt.

Steffy: Wyatt deserves to know.

Thomas: I told you about that night in confidence. You can't betray that.

Steffy: I wouldn't throw that word around if I were you.

Thomas: [Scoffs] Come on, Steff. Stop being melodramatic, okay? Nobody got
betrayed. Ivy and I made out a little bit, but it stopped there, all right? It's
-- it's nothing that Ivy needs to be publicly shamed over.

Steffy: This is really interesting. What should I take from this valiant
effort to protect Ivy? That you genuinely care about her?

Thomas: Okay, yes, it started out that way. But I like her, all right? And I
think she can do a Hell of a lot better than Wyatt Spencer.

Steffy: And I think Wyatt can do a lot better than a girlfriend who makes out
with the first guy who flirts with her.

Thomas: Steffy, come on. All right, yeah, we made out a little bit, but it
stopped there. It's not going any further, so just -- just pretend like you
never saw anything, like you never heard anything. Let Wyatt and Ivy go back to
their lives.

Steffy: I'm sorry. I don't think I can do that.

Bill: Mmm.

Katie: [Laughs] So, does it meet with your approval?

Bill: Like everything you do.

Katie: So full of compliments today. What do you want?

Bill: Just appreciating the moment.

Katie: I know what this is about. This is about you closing that deal right
before you walked in here.

Bill: Hell yeah.

Katie: Mm.

Bill: But what it's really about... the small things, the things that make up
the fabric of our life. You taught me that, so thank you. Thank you for the
pasta.

Katie: Mm.

Bill: For your grace, your style, most importantly, your good humor, because
that's what allows you to put up with me.

Katie: [Laughs] Yes.

Bill: Thank you for making me a better man... a man finally worthy of you.

Adam: I've taken all the boxes to shipping. I'll let you know when the truck
leaves.

Steffy: Great. Thank you so much, Adam.

Adam: Thanks.

Steffy: [Sighs]

Liam: What's wrong?

Steffy: I was wrong... about Ivy's commitment to your brother. She's been
cheating on Wyatt right under his nose.

Katie: I love times like this. We’ve never been happier together.

Bill: [Chuckles]

Katie: Will is thriving.

Bill: What is the deal with that kid?

Katie: I know.

Bill: It's like he grows an inch every time we leave the house.

Katie: [Chuckles] He's such a little man, trying hard to be like his daddy.

Bill: We have to keep an eye on that.

Katie: Mm?

Bill: He has to be better than me. That's where your genes come in.

Katie: Oh, you didn't do so bad. Wyatt and Liam are great, you know?
They're...creative and ambitious.

Bill: And now Liam and Steffy are getting married.

Katie: And who knows? Maybe Wyatt and Ivy are next.

Bill: [Chuckles] I am so lucky to have you by my side - my wife, my best
friend, my partner. The future never looked brighter.

Katie: Yeah.

Ivy: Hey.

Wyatt: Mm.

Ivy: I've been thinking.

Wyatt: Uh-oh.

Ivy: [Chuckles] I've been thinking maybe we should, uh -- maybe we should get
away for a couple of nights. We've just been working so hard on this line.

Wyatt: Oh. I like where this is going. Couple nights away, maybe a cabin in
Aspen. You and me, me and you, large bed, just can never leave it.

Ivy: That -- oh, that sounds amazing.

Wyatt: Mm?

Ivy: Can we do that tonight?

Wyatt: I wish.

Ivy: Oh, I wish it was that easy. There is nowhere on the planet I would
rather be than just somewhere isolated with you.

Wyatt: Mm.

Thomas: Yo.

[Both groan]

Wyatt: [Clears throat]

Thomas: Hate to interrupt.

Wyatt: Sure, you did.

Thomas: I need to talk to you alone. It's important.

Liam: Ivy cheated on Wyatt? That can't be true.

Steffy: I went to see Thomas, but then Ivy was there. She was all emotional
and frantic. So I waited for Ivy to leave, and then I confronted Thomas. He
played like it was nothing, but then I threatened to -- I threatened to go to
Wyatt, and he told me everything.

Liam: Do I really want to hear this?

Steffy: When Wyatt was in San Francisco, Ivy and Thomas stayed at the house.
And then Thomas went into the bedroom, and they made out.

Liam: What?! And you believe him?

Steffy: I mean... yeah. But Ivy shouldn't be doing any of this. She's
committed to Wyatt. He doesn't deserve that. Now she's playing him.

Liam: Hold -- hold -- wait. Hold on a second. Don't -- don't jump to
conclusions, okay? Uh, you know how Thomas sees the world -- through the lens of
his own ego. Ivy could have a completely different story, right? I mean, you
know what they say about truth.

Steffy: Yeah. Somewhere in the middle.

Liam: Exactly, which is where you don't have to be. Don't -- just -- just
stay out of it, okay? Let them work this out on their own.

Steffy: Wyatt is a good guy. He deserves someone who values him. And, you
know, I could think of a hundred girls who would.

Liam: Hold on. Do you -- you see how far ahead of yourself you're getting?
You got to slow down. You don't know all the facts. All you have is Thomas'
interpretation, which you know could be tainted by his dislike of all things
Spencer.

Steffy: Okay, Thomas and I, we tell each other the truth. Ivy's cheating.

Liam: Okay, I got to -- [Sighs] I got to go take care of something. Stay out
of it, okay? Stay out of it. Okay? Stay out of it. Stay out of it.

Ivy: Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of Wyatt.

Thomas: I don't think you want that.

Ivy: Well, Wyatt and I are together.

Thomas: Oh, I know.

Ivy: We don't keep secrets from each other.

Thomas: Interesting.

Ivy: You know what? I'm gonna leave.

Wyatt: It's okay. I got this.

Ivy: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: Okay. I'm gonna need you to hear what I'm saying. Absorb the words.
Process it, even if it takes you a minute. I get why you're attracted to Ivy. I
mean, what man wouldn't be? But I'm gonna need you to back off. Ivy said she's
not available. She is in a relationship with me, committed to me. Do you
understand? There is no room in this equation for you.

Ivy: Uh, yeah, because I've been choosing jewelry to go with his dress
designs.

Steffy: It seems like it's getting a little more personal than that. You know
that. I know that.

Ivy: I don't know what you're talking about.

Steffy: It's just that, um, women are drawn to Thomas, and I just want to
know if it's happening to you.

Ivy: Where are you going with this, Steffy?

Steffy: Okay, I'll tell you what I know. I know that you and Thomas kissed.
And I know that you had a private moment at Thanksgiving. It didn't seem work
related. And it seemed like it was... more than friends. So I confronted Thomas
about it, and he said it was nothing.

Ivy: Well, I hope you listened to him.

Steffy: Okay, that's the thing, Ivy. I-I did. And then I was on the way to
the design office, and I overheard you saying some things. You said that you
feel guilty, and it should never happen again. So I went back to my brother, and
he told me everything. When Wyatt was in San Francisco, you made out with my
brother. Did you?

Ivy: It's not what you think, Steffy.

Steffy: It's not what I think. It's what I know.

Ivy: I don't have to explain myself to you, Steffy, because it's none of your
business.

Steffy: This is Wyatt's business. He's a good guy, and he's gonna be my
brother-in-law soon. What you're doing to him -- he does not deserve that.

Ivy: Yeah, it's a little bit more complicated than --

Steffy: Save the justifications for Wyatt. Because if you're not gonna say
anything to him, guarantee you, I will.
